At least one person was killed and seven people wounded, two of them seriously, in a series of stabbings early Sunday in the English city of Birmingham, the police said. The police said they were looking for one man in what appeared to be a “random attack.”Chief Superintendent Steve Graham of the West Midlands Police said that officers were still searching for a motive, but that there was no indication that the stabbings were terrorism or gang-related. The police have confirmed that at least one man was killed and that two people, a man and a woman, had serious injuries. Five others were also wounded, and their injuries were described as minor. No link has been established between the victims, leading the police to believe that the stabbings were done at random.
